Ok, I am moving from a different host called refugenetworks.
At refugenetworks I created a full backup that includes the databases and the homedir etc.
Can a admin please restore the backup onto this account?
I will upload the backup to my index.

You'll need to upload the files normally trought FTP, as we do not use the cPanel's backup features

If your databases are MySQL, usually you can find the backup in the mysql directory of the compressed file. Your database will be in the format of your-database-name.sql. Extract these files so you can use them later.

Create a new blank database so you can import the information to this database. Do this with cPanel->MySQL Databases Wizard and go through all the steps: Database name, user/password, user/privileges.

Then go to cPanel->phpMyAdmin, select your new database, and on the upper right side tab click on Import and browse to find the your-database-name.sql you previously extracted.

Repeat for each database you need to import.

Notice that your new database-name/username will probably not be the same as the ones you had, so you will have to adjust you login credentials.
